Wings of various Drosophila melanogaster fly lines were analyzed: the common laboratory fly strain OregonR, inbred fly strains North-Carolina 375 and North-Carolina 399, and wild-caught flies from New Jersey, USA and Cartagena, Colombia. Flies were grown at 22◦C, except otherwise noted. For the temperature experiment, flies were kept at defined temperatures (16◦C, 18◦C, and 28◦C) for two genera...

Imported dengue cases originating from the Madeiran outbreak are increasingly reported. In 2012 five Finnish travellers returning from Madeira were diagnosed with dengue fever. Viral sequence data was obtained from two patients. The partial C-preM sequences (399 and 396 bp respectively) were found similar to that of an autochthonous case from Madeira. The partial E-gene sequence (933 bp) which ...
